when i run TOMCAT with jzos under z/os 1.9 i do not get anything in the STDOUT/STDERR datasets - only SYSOUT has anything. I no longer have a z/os 1.7 system to run on but I remember getting STDOUT/STDERR output. this happens with both jzos 2.0.0 (JVMLDM60) and the alphaworks version JVMLDM50. I also tried it with both TOMCAT 5.0.23 and 6.0.18. TOMCAT comes up okay but i cannot see the error msgs and i know there are some.
When i run one of the sample java programs such as HelloWorld i do get output in STDOUT/STDERR.

I'm not aware of anything in z/OS 1.9 that would cause this. Are you getting any messages logged to the Tomcat logs directory?

no, i am not getting any thing in the tomcat logs directory either.
this is probably a tomcat problem - i will check on the tomcat website.

thanks for your response

If you would like to run the job with LOGLVL='+T' and email it to me at info@dovetail.com, I'll take a look.

I found the problem - i had overriden #JO="$IJO -Djava.util.logging.config.file with an old file which no longer exists. i removed the entry and i now get STDOUT/STDERR output in tomcat 6.
